Developmental Preschool
At the Nathaniel Jones Early Learning Center, we believe every child deserves a strong start. Our Preschool 3’s and Early Learning 4’s programs are designed to provide a rich foundation for both social and academic growth, preparing children for long-term success in kindergarten and beyond.
Operating on the Pike Township Schools calendar, our full-day preschool program follows the Indiana Early Learning Foundations to ensure developmentally appropriate, engaging instruction that promotes early literacy, math readiness, motor development, and social-emotional learning.
Developmental Preschool
The MSD of Pike Township's Early Childhood Program serves students ages 3 through 5 who have been identified with special needs and would benefit from early intervention.
Services are determined on an individual basis following an assessment and a case conference to determine eligibility according to state and federal guidelines. The continuum of service includes speech-only therapy to a more intensive developmental Early Childhood Program.
Early Childhood classes are 2 ½ hours a day, up to 5 days per week. Therapies are integrated into the Early Childhood Programs by therapists and classroom teachers. In addition to the teacher, each class has instructional assistants supporting the needs of the students. Students can participate in the classes as “peer friends” to provide a positive role model for language, pre-academics, and behavior.
The early childhood staff is committed to creating a warm, nurturing environment where each child may grow, learn, and develop to his or her full potential.
